how would the new disability medical assessments work if you have been signed off from work for life and recieving higher rate care and lower rate mobility would you still need to attend this stupid medical?
i agree with you saying that it is too weed out those that are capable for work. but to let you understand my partner is unable to work he has problems with his hands, and now losing his eye sight due to his diabetes. amongst deep depression and other things
the medical assessment is only stupid as there will be people that will not be able to work so therefore wasting time and resources. however as one person said it will wave out those that can work

So my partner needs a doctors signature to apply for rides to work through the disability services bus, as well as to get a handicap parking permit. We went to the medi-center this morning to have them sign the forms for her, and they said that they could not, it had to be someone who was familiar with Monica and her condition.
The problem is that she hasnt been to a doctor in 6 years. She didnt have a steady pediatrician as a child, and her orthopedic surgeon, the only person she saw regularly, has been retired for 10 years and they do not have records from that long ago. We have none of her medical records, either.
So we are stuck at this point. She needs to get the forms signed ASAP. But they are telling us that no one will be able to sign them if she is a new patient, she has to have history.
SHE IS DISABLED. No, she is not in a wheelchair, she has Spastic CP and just has a slight limp, but she has mobility issues and NEEDS ASSISTANCE. No one is willing to help us out.
